Vobbia, a village of the Po side of the Ligurian Apennine, extends into the valley formed by the homonymous stream. The name Vobbia probably derives from the expression “Vò Beia” which means “ by the river”. The village developed indeed during the Middle Ages, as it was crossed by one of the tracks of the “Via del Sale” (the Salt Trade Path), and in particular by the one called “Via dei Feudi imperiali” (Imperial Feudal Path) connecting Genoa with Lombardy.
